Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers; Extension of Compliance Date

Streszczenie

FMCSA extends the compliance date of the May 27, 2015, final rule titled "Lease and Interchange of Vehicles; Motor Carriers of Passengers," from January 1, 2019, to January 1, 2021. The final rule received 37 petitions for reconsideration. To address the concerns in the petitions, FMCSA initiated a new notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that also included a proposal to extend the compliance date of the 2015 final rule from January 1, 2019, to January 1, 2021. This extension of the compliance date is necessary to provide time to consider all the issues raised in comments to the NPRM and to publish a final rule, while giving motor carriers sufficient time to comply with the revised requirements.
